Jim,

Just bumped into what looks exactly like this. I didn’t see a bug report on this so I made my own using arcstone’s title and description plus a little more detail.

Yes, I can now update my profile while the plugin is activated.

Yep, that fixed it. Thanks.

OK I’ve learned a few things,

1. In the first post, this
[pods name="stage" form="1" fields="stage_location,stage_contact_name,stage_contact_email]

looks like I missed a quote mark, should look like this
[pods name="stage" form="1" fields="stage_location,stage_contact_name,stage_contact_email"]

Oops, sorry.

2. With the corrected shortcode, the behavior reported is still the same: rather than a blank form, the form is pre-populated with the entry having the oldest creation date.

3. It also doesn’t matter if I use the "stage_location,stage_contact_name,stage_contact_email", using just [pods name="stage" form="1"] gives the same behavior

4. Adding id="-1" actually does resolve it. I was mistaken because of the missing quote mark noted above.

5. I tried in Pods 2.5.1, 2.5.1.1, and 2.5.2 and it’s all the same.

@josh Pods 2.5.2 neither resolves the issue nor gives an error.

I just noticed the form is pre-populated with the entry having the oldest creation date. If I delete that one it then pre-populates with the next entry having the oldest creation date.

Setting the id to -1 did not work for me.

haven’t had a new version yet so this is still a bug

Sorry ozcsys, I did not. After re-deleting/attributing/re-building the user a second time, I didn’t want to play anymore and simply vowed to be careful never to hit the button again.

But thank you for letting me know I am not the only driven completely batty by that behavior.

Still waiting for that beautiful soul who will drop some solid functions.php code into this forum.

UPDATE:

OK spoke too soon.

I remembered I need to delete the temporary and attribute all the posts back to the original user. When I did that, I went to check the little button’s behavior again, and the issue came back.

So I did all the standard troubleshooting this time around: deactivate all plugins, go back to Twenty Eleven, reset the plugin folder via FTP. No dice.

Is there maybe some functions.php code someone has that’ll just remove that “< Collapse menu” button entirely? Scoff if you will, I always like the sidebar open and can’t think of a single scenario where I would want it collapsed.

I’m more of “Icons and Titles” kind of guy, rather than a “Icons Only” one.
